Last time I checked Ortiz was removed from the IBF,WBA and WBO rankings for failing that test so even if Joshua and Hearn wanted the fight it couldn't be a title fight as it wouldn't get sanctioned.
And even if he was ranked Ortiz brings nothing to the table. Whyte is a bigger fight, Wilder is a bigger fight, Fury is a bigger fight. Ortiz is known by hardcore fans but casuals may only remember him from fighting on the Joshua undercard vs Scott, where he failed to impress. So obviously he won't be first choice for Hearn or Joshua anytime soon.
