The 21-year-old got the better of Polish opponent Daniel Przewieslik in their middleweight contest.
Haughan, from Carlisle Villa Amateur Boxing Club, was cheered on by vocal supporters from his home city as he won the four-round fight on points by a margin of 40-35.
It proved a successful first step into the pro scene for the Cumbrian as he starred at the VIP Boxing show at Blackpool’s Winter Gardens.
Haughan, who turned pro this summer after winning a host of top amateur titles, was up against a well-travelled opponent in the shape of 36-year-old Przewieslik.

The Carlisle boxer weighed in at 11st 7lb 2oz and was introduced to the crowd as “Marvellous Marc Haughan,” as more than 200 supporters from Carlisle sang his name.
Against 11st 7lb Przewieslik, a patient opening round was followed by Haughan increasing the tempo in round two, troubling Przewieslik with a powerful right hook and further quick combinations.
Haughan was on the front foot and landed a variety of punches as Przewieslik tried to respond.
The Polish boxer’s gumshield came out on several occasions during the contest, leading the referee to deduct a point at one stage as things became stop-start.
Haughan, though, remained on top against his tiring opponent and a strong left hand connected with Przewieslik’s chin in round three.
Some further aggressive exchanges followed in the final round, a solid uppercut seeing Haughan continue to force the pace before the two boxers embraced at the bell.
Haughan’s arm was then raised after his victory via Darren Sarginson’s scoring was confirmed.
Haughan, who hails from Upperby and now lives in Harraby, is signed with top promoters VIP Boxing, who are based in Manchester and have worked with numerous English, British, Commonwealth, European and world champions.
He is managed by Steve Wood and continues to train at Carlisle Villa, where he came through the amateur ranks and whose coaches, including Jimmy Brennan, were in his corner in Blackpool.
