The home boxer floored the Bristol fighter in both the sixth and 11th round.
The 25-year-old couldn't find a killer punch to finish his opponent, but Burnett was awarded the win on points.
It is the first time he has become a world champion.
"I always knew I would be a world champion although I had to dig deep," Burnett told Sky Sports.
"I promised everyone that this belt would stay in Belfast and it has," added Burnett.
"Haskins made me work but I did it and it is my dream - I'm the champion of the world."
